Con Tagious

He goes with ego
Many go with him
Those without ego,
Patience is wearing thin

He is a traitor,
It is clear to see
He is a dictator
His favourite word is ME

He isn't concerned
About others, only self
How did he become President
Why? Of course, for pelf.

Power and greed 
Is all that interests him
When is he going to pay
For the betrayal and sin,

He has caused, without a qualm,
When will he be punished?
For all the heartbreak and harm
He has instigated,

And delegated to others,
Who are not in a position to refuse
To fight their fellow brothers,
In a WORLD WAR,

How much farther can he go?
Before he understands the word NO
And has to succumb,
To the rule of thumb.

And pay for his misdeeds,
Before it is too late.
How can anyone be in Power for so long?
While doing wrong,

For goodness sake, please GO.
And take your EGO with you,
I am afraid you will GROW
Stronger like a virus

And it would be outrageous,
If we all become contagious.
